Here's that Coretta Scott King letter that got Elizabeth Warren in trouble

Despite the rebuke of Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., for criticizing colleague and Attorney General-designate Jeff Sessions with the words of Coretta Scott King from three decades ago, other Senate Democrats quoted King in speeches on Wednesday.

I write to express my sincere opposition to the confirmation of Jefferson B. Sessions as a federal district court judge for the Southern District of Alabama. My professional and personal roots in Alabama are deep and lasting. Anyone who has used the power of his office as United States Attorney to intimidate and chill the free exercise of the ballot by citizens should not be elevated to our courts. Mr. Sessions has used the awesome powers of his office in a shabby attempt to intimidate and frighten elderly black voters. For this reprehensible conduct, he should not be rewarded with a federal judgeship.

I regret that a long-standing commitment prevents me from appearing in person to testify against this nominee. However, I have attached a copy of my statement opposing Mr. Sessions’ confirmation and I request that my statement as well as this be made a part of the hearing record.
